Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has once again thrust himself into the political spotlight after issuing a strongly worded message aimed at Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. In a statement that quickly gained traction online, Kuria appeared to draw a clear battle line, suggesting that from now on, it was a one-on-one political contest.

Using Kikuyu expressions alongside English, Kuria portrayed himself as politically reborn, declaring that he was no longer aligned with previous factions and was entering a new phase of his political journey.

“I Am From Today”  A Political Reset?

One of the most striking parts of Kuria’s message was his declaration that he was starting afresh. By distancing himself from the “Tutam” movement, Kuria seemed to suggest a shift in strategy, ideology, or alliances a move that has left political observers speculating about his next steps.

The statement hinted at personal resolve and political reinvention, themes Kuria has leaned into before during moments of transition.

Claim That Sparked Outrage

Perhaps the most controversial line in the message was Kuria’s claim that Gachagua was more dangerous than President William Ruto. The remark has triggered intense discussion, especially within Mt Kenya political circles, where loyalty, influence, and succession politics remain sensitive topics.

Supporters and critics alike have taken to social media to dissect the meaning behind Kuria’s words, with some viewing it as bold truth-telling and others seeing it as reckless provocation.

Mt Kenya Power Dynamics Under the Microscope

The public nature of the statement underscores growing tensions within the region’s leadership. As internal realignments continue, Kuria’s remarks may signal a broader struggle for influence ahead of future political contests.

Whether this was a calculated move or an emotional outburst, one thing is clear: the battle for Mt Kenya’s political soul is far from settled.
